S:\Pupils\Senior Pupils\ICT\Y07\Unit 7.3 Endangered Animals\Lesson_2

On the worksheet, look at the example and then turn over the page and design the front and back covers for your leaflet making sure that you include all of the required elements.

Task 2 When you have finished your plans, swap them with a partner and go through the checklist of elements that are required. Tick them off to check if your partner has planned everything they should have.

Task 3 Open MS Publisher and then in groups of about 4, show each other publisher techniques and tricks that you know that others might not. Pick the best one you have come up with as a group that you can share with the class.

Hello 7SC

Today you are going to research and plan a Tudor Christmas celebration. Perhaps we will use some of your ideas to have our own Christmas party at the end of term!

You will need to find out details on the Internet such as what to wear, what to serve as food and drink, entertainment and anything else needed when planning a party. I want you to look at the four different characters listed below and research each of their Christmas celebrations.

1. A wealthy courtier in Henry VIII’s London court

2. A Shrewsbury merchant

3. A Roman Catholic monk in a pre-reformation Monastery

4. A poor farm laborourer in the Shropshire countryside

Please present your information either as a Powerpoint presentation, a comparative chart or even a website produced in Publisher. Include pictures or images if you like.

By the end of the lesson, make sure you have printed off your work and bring it to your history lesson in Period 10.

While you are working, I will aim to speak to each of you about your history exam results.

Task 1 – implementing your spreadsheet

A couple of reminders as you work on this;

DON’T REPEAT YOURSELF – once you have shown me a skill or technique in detail (using screenshots) you don’t need to show me again

SHOW OFF YOUR SKILLS BUT DON’T FORGET THE BASICS – changing font styles, aligning text in cells, widening columns etc

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU IMPLEMENTATION DIFFERS FROM YOUR PLAN – just ensure that you explain why you have made changes

Starter: Please open the worksheet called Create a band Res2e.doc which you saved last lesson.  Then, Using the internet, locate the website of your favourite band.  Once you have found it, see how much of the following information you can find out – write the answers on a whiteboard.

  1. when and where was the latest gig?
  2. what is the name of the band’s latest CD?
  3. which town are most of the band from?
  4. what are the hobbies and interests of some of the band?
  5. who is there management company?
  6. which record label are they signed to?

Task 1

You need to think about the structure of your website.  How many pages are you going to have?  What is the focus of each page going to be?  How will it link to the other pages on the site?  Using the structure planning sheet, identify the pages that your website will contain.  You will also need to identify how you will navigate between your pages.

Task 2

Once you have planned the pages of your site, open your website in MS Frontpage – you created this last lesson.  To make sure that this opens up properly, Choose File > Open Site and then click on the folder which contains your website and open it.

You can now create the pages for your website – remember, the homepage is always called index and when you rename your pages, always remember to include .htm at the end.

Task 3

You now need to design the basic layout for your pages.  Almost every web page is created using a grid or table.  Using one of the grids available on FrontPage, design the layout of your pages.  What will go where?  Band name, page name, pictures, links, text etc.
